Shadow Dragon
Spike
Name: Cassandra Black
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/her
Birthday: October 31
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance:
Cassandra is a natural platinum blonde, with chocolate brown eyes. She's a bit on the tall and willowy side, five foot eight and one hundred sixty pounds. She embraces the goth look, and has a lot of textured black dresses. Her palms are scarred from ritual bloodletting.
Personality: Cassandra plays 'moody and depressed' to the hilt, but it's all a very good act. She might behave like that in public, but get her alone, and she lets her hair down somewhat. She has quite a smart mouth on her, and that can get her in trouble somewhat. That said, she also has a knack for getting out of said trouble as well. She's also a voracious reader, and can often be found in her room with a book.
Bio: Cassandra's home life was... not the best. Her parents were always arguing, and her father was a bit too much into the booze. One night, after a truly epic bender, he crossed the line and struck her mother for the first time. In her rage and terror, Cassandra instinctively unleashed her magic for the first time, knocking her father down with a blast of force. That's when she knew she wasn't normal.
It turned out Cassandra's mother was a witch who was no longer practicing magic. With her help, the coven intervened, managing to get legal guardianship of Cassandra, teaching her to strengthen and control her powers. She made a few friends and did some small jobs for the coven, and now, she eagerly awaits full membership among the Sisters of the Dying Branch.
Notable Rumors: Some in the coven have claimed that she's so good at curses that there might be some distant demonic blood in her veins. It's not true in the slightest, though.
Fears: Cassandra is very claustrophobic. Inside the coven's walls, she knows she's safe, but otherwise, if she gets in tight spaces, she can easily have a panic attack.
Magic: Expert in curses. Born on Halloween, a night when black magic runs wild, Cassandra has a talent for the Dark Arts. She can inflict all sorts of malevolent spells on her targets. However, her most powerful magics require ritual and prep time, meaning that in a straight fight, she has to rely on lesser hexes.
Moderately skilled in enchanting. While nothing truly spectacular, Cassandra has made herself a small toolbox of magic items for both fun and function. Probably the most impressive is a dress that can change color, fabric, and cut with a thought.
Terrible at astral projection. For whatever reason, separating her spirit from her body is a skill she struggles mightily with. It makes her poor at intelligence-gathering missions, as she can't use one of the most effective spying techniques witches have.
Other: Cassandra has spent years looking for a familiar, but so far, the right one hasn't crossed her path.
